Web Proxies
A web proxy can help your system communicate outside your network securely and with increased
performance. For example, you can direct your system’s outbound requests through an enterprise proxy.
Configure your system to use a proxy one of the following ways:
▪
Automatic
: Specify only the proxy credentials (if needed). Using DHCP, your system obtains a URL
to automatically download a proxy auto-configuration (PAC) file.
▪
Semi-automatic
: Specify the proxy credentials and URL for automatically downloading a PAC file.
▪
Manual
: Specify the proxy address, port, and credentials. (This method lets you configure your
system with only one proxy.)
If your configuration includes automatically downloading a PAC file, there must be an expiration
associated with the file so the system knows when to download a new one. Make sure your PAC file
server includes an
Expires
header in its HTTP response (for example,
Expires: Wed, 30 Oct
2016 09:30:00 GMT
).
Your system can authenticate with a proxy using the following methods:
▪ Digest authentication (with either MD-5 or SHA-256 digest)
▪ NTLM authentication (only NTLMv2 is supported)
▪ Basic authentication (this insecure method is disabled by default)
▪ No authentication (or null authentication, meaning the proxy server doesn’t require credentials)
Your system supports the following services when configured to use a web proxy:
▪ Provisioning service
▪ Software updates
